About Me

"A prophet and a pusher, partly truth partly fiction, a walking contradiction." - 10 points if you can name who said it first and who said it second.
Everything is connected. The decisions you make effect the whole world. One person makes all the difference. Think first and act with compassion. Have faith in yourself and be faithful to your true self. Never stop growing, hoping, believing, dreaming, and loving. "If you don't live the only life you have, you won't live some other life, you won't live any life at all." -James Baldwin (no relation to Alec). So get off the computer and do something. Or escape by watching some of my movies http://www.youtube.com/CherryPopSiskel

Shot this in one day in Boston, original songs by yours truly, can hear at http://www.myspace.com/azurosa plus a punk Dylan cover by me and Ian
Ben from Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream says we could blow up all of Russia with 90 Hiroshima sized bombs. The U.S. has a nuclear arsenal the size of 150,000 Hiroshima sized bombs. Excessive? I cut together some old atomic bomb footage to a rough tune of mine

Animation I made with graphic novelist extraordinaire Mark Ricketts .. ..
My friend philosopher/story teller Chris Newcomb

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who care about what's going on in the world, who like to philosophize, who want to do more than just talk, who can laugh at anything, who are trying to become or find something.
Wake Up America!I interviewed Christopher Walken about Buying Locally!The Kucinich interview the Commonwealth Club did on 8/10/07 is one of the most inspiring things I have heard, an honest and intelligent and compassionate man speaking the truth. His words inspire hope, and at the same time makes me want to cry that the mainstream media has pushed him off the radar, he is like the modern day Martin Luther King Jr. http://www.commonwealthclub.org/archive/07/07-08kucinich-aud io.html
